I turbo my lx 3 years ago, with vaf inline the intercooler set.after than i went back to nitrous, ad then supercharger, last week, i was bored and started with gt rear disk upgrade, and then turbo it again. using all n/a parts.
completely stock n/a motor,
t3/t4 turbo
38mm vband wastegate
evo9 fmic
recirculated greddy bov
gt injectors
so far about 600 miles on it, ran into oil leak problem on the turbo inlet but was quickly fixed with teflon. other than that. good so far
10psi
Phil, you got a write-up for how you did the AFPR? Or did you follow that Schwine's write-up?
“One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that if you drive into London at 6am, half of the cars on the roads are Porsches and Astons. Whereas if you go in at ten to nine, they’re all Renaults. Simple solution, then. You want a nice car? Get up earlier and do more work.”
I actually did that setup 1st before schwine, but same concept, i will write up the part needed for it.
Cool! That'd be much appreciated, i've been slacking on that, and i'm about to tear back into the MX6 to get her buttoned up for winter duty, and this was on the list.
I DID get far enough to verify that the 2nd gen fuel rail adapter for AFPR would work, but didn't get any farther.

the adapter: you can cut the stock fpr diaphram up and thread a 10mm bolt, will fit in that hole to block it.
the end of the fuel rail thread is m16x1.5 pitch. so you can use it with 1/4,5/16,3/8 barb or 6an like i did. im about to put another together today, i will take a detail pic for you.
M16x1.25P is not a standard thread by any standard (JIS being the standard that Mazda mostly used)
I think you'll fine it's either M16x1.5P or M14x1.5P.

here is a video from cell phone today, finally dried from raining whole week, 15mph from 2nd gear to 100mph, had to slam on the brake since im coming up on traffic. broke 2 stud already from manifold, will probably upgrade to 10mm tommorrow. will post video of 0-150mph when i load it from my camera.
the car is running a little richer now due to exhaust leak. wired the hks fcon in it with gcc. runs great otherwise
had couple of races with the car so far, ran a member here gt with stock turbo and 15psi from a dig with him getting 7 car headstart to 1/4 mile and he got yanked really bad, 10+ cars lenght, kill list involve 3 2005+ gt, 01 cobra, turbo civic ls, b16 turbo civic, colbat turbo. accepting application for a the local fast gt to compare . preffered gt with big turbo and fuel. pls no stock turbo crap lol

I think it might have to do with the way the turbo comes to life, really fast and violent, it car wont stop spinning but still accellerating, you having seem nothing , wait till you see the 4th gear and 5th gear pull. i have no idea but the car accellerate and hard to keep straight without pulling away from the road, i have to pay really close attention.
update
I did upgrade the injectors to 460cc rx7 injector and raise the boost to 1 bar, wired the fcon and gcc to the car. replaced coil and everything rans good . the car idle at 14.5-15-5 when warmed up. cruisin it stay pretty much at 15.4-15.6 a/f, on boost its
3.5k-5k ..11.2
5k-6.2k ....10.6 in 2nd and 11.4a/f in 3rd to 5th. 2nd gear run richer for a reason
My turbo reacts similarly.... but even when i ran 20psi, it didn't act like that.
I guess that said, i've got solid mounts and my entire front end is new, so that might be it.
Car looks like it moves pretty good!
